There's no stopping now. So you might as well put necks on 'em and string 'em up or you're probably going to die in a box avalanche.  : )

Talk to Uncle John and ask for a sample of his elixer. I think he calls it Build Stop.

When I first got started I bought 10 boxes. I thought I might stop when I got through them, but then someone gave me three more, and I found six at the dump, my brother bought me two, my friend bought me three more, I bought a box while on vacation. I have empty tea tins, and empty cans that are in line to become canjos. I've bought tone wood for a custom build...

Where was I going with this...Oh yes, I will stop when I have no more ideas on what to build, and I always have an idea.....

Cigar boxes are a gateway to other odd things we string up and play! There are CBGA meetings on Saturday.

Why would you want to stop? Nobody's stopping. Just start, the rest will fall into place. The path will be revealed. BTW, you're doomed :) ! Soon, you'll be calling the local hardware establishment a music parts store, especially the fastener, lumber, and plumbing departments.
